I think this will be an interesting deeplovment to watch. If Apple move into the world of watches I am not sure it will work for them. For many people size of screen is important and i-Phone and i-Pad have pretty much got it about right. Bluetooth technology although useful also has its limitations so hard to understand what Apple could offer on a watch that would be useful to users. Still they have been inventive so far and impossible to rule out.

I think there are a few things you need to clfraiy for your readers:- (Manual wind)Mechanical watch: accuracy is VERY high . Compare to what? A sundial? The average mechanical watch (unless it is a chronometer or have underwent meticulous adjustment), whether it is automatic or manual wind typically varies from 10 to 30 seconds a day from the accurate time, which is certainly not that accurate.- Quartz watch: there were NO Olympic games back in 1869; check your facts before posting.- Automatic mechanical watch: .. and store energy by IC control .. , what is IC control??? Do you mean integrated circuit? That’s not what a mechanical watch is about; a mechanical watch stores energy in its main spring, not in an electronic circuit.
